ORIGIN OF THE SOCIETY. 



On May 10, 1783, a few of the officers of the Ameri- 
can Army during" the Revolution formed the Society 
of the Cincinnati on the banks of the Hudson. Mem- 
bership is based upon official service only and is estab- 
lished on the law of primogeniture, consequently the 
society is very small and will grow smaller. 

A call for the descendants of Revolutionary fathers 
to meet at 212 Kearney street, San Francisco, Califor- 
nia, on the evening of June 29, 1876, was published in 
the "Alta California" of that date at the request of 
James P. Dameron, for the purpose of celebrating the 
Centennial Anniversary. In response to the call several 
men met there, and on July 4, 1876, they formed a per- 
manent organization called "Sons of Revolutionary 
Sires." This is believed to be the first society organized 
with membership based upon service in the cause of 
American Independence, except the Society of the Cin- 
cinnati. 

Anticipating the Centennial Celebration, a few men 
met at the office of Dr. James L. Cogswell, 230 Kearney 
street, San Francisco, on October 22, 1875, and formed 
a temporary organization only. Nothing more was done 
until some of them helped to organize the Sons of 
Revolutionary Sires. 

In the early part of 1889 societies were formed in 
several of the eastern states under the name of Sons 
of the Revolution. 

Acting on a resolution of the New Jersey society 
(Sons of the Revolution), delegates from thirteen states 



met at Farnce's Tavern, New York City, April 30, 1889, 
at the time of the celebration of the One Hundredth 
Anniversary of the Inauguration of George Washington 
as first President, and formed the National Society of 
the Sons of the American Revolution, which was in- 
corporated by special act of Congress June 6, 1906. 

The National Society is now composed of forty-six 
State Societies, and Societies in the District of Columbia, 
Hawaii, the Philippines and France. 

It is non-sectarian, non-political and non-secret. 

Reasons for Membership. 

It is a practical way of honoring our patriotic fore- 
fathers. 

It preserves a line of ancestors of members back to the 
period of the Revolution for future generations. It has 
already become very difficult in many cases to trace 
descent from a Revolutionary ancestor and will be- 
come more difficult in each succeeding generation. 

The Society encourages continued public interest in 
the men and events of the American Revolution. 

It teaches patriotism and good citizenship to the 
families and friends of members. 

By the wide distribution of leaflets, printed in language 
that can be understood by all, it teaches the millions 
of aliens in the United States what the Nation stands 
for, what it means for them to become a part of the 
body politic and to participate in the duties and respon- 
sibilities of active citizens. 

Qualifications for Membership. 
(See Article HI. of the Constitution). 



How TO Become a Member. 

Trace your lineage back to the period of the Revolu- 
tion through paternal and maternal lines and ascertain 
the names and residences of all male lineal ancestors 
of proper age for active participation in the struggle 
for Independence. This search may be guided by family 
papers and traditions, by published and original probate 
and land records of towns and counties, by tombstone 
inscriptions and histories. Search printed and manu- 
script records of military and naval service. Where 
two or more men of the same name are recorded from 
the same locality, identify as your own ancestor the 
one upon whom your claim is based. Names of Ger- 
man, Dutch or French origin may be disguised by 
translation into English or by various phonetic spellings. 

References to manuscript sources must be accompanied 
by officially certified copies. 

The record of the ancestor's service should be given 
fully and concisely. 

It is not necessary to show the pedigree any further 
back than the ancestor who served in the war. 

The Society does not accept Encyclopedias, Genealog- 
ical Works, or Town or County Histories, except such 
as contain Rosters, as authorities for proofs of service. 

In referring to printed books the volume and page 
should be given. 

Individual membership is through the State Society 
only, and all are members of the National Society of 
the Sons of the American Revolution. 

Application for membership is made on standard 
blanks furnished by the State Society upon request. 
Every application must be accompanied by $10 and signed 
and verified by the applicant and endorsed by two mem- 
bers of the Society. These blanks call for the place 
and date of birth and of death of the Revolutionary 
ancestor and the year of birth, of marriage and of 



death of ancestors in intervening generations. Member- 
ship is based on one original claim ; additional claims 
are filed on supplemental papers without extra charge. 
The applications and supplemental are made in dupli- 
cate. One copy remains with the State Society and 
one copy is permanently preserved in the Registrar 
General's office at Washington, D. C, where a reference 
card index is kept of members' names and of their 
Revolutionary ancestors. 

Sources of Revolutionary Service Record. 

There is no complete roll of soldiers, sailors and 
civil patriots of the Revolution. The following are some 
of the principal "sources of information. In calling for 
certification of service record, give the full name and 
residence of the ancestor. 

National. — The Bureau of Pensions has the claim 
papers of about 70,000 Revolutionary soldiers and their 
widows. The U. S. Commissioner of Pensions, Wash- 
ington, D. C, will furnish abstracts of service from the 
records without charge. Lists of pensioners, arranged 
by states, were published by the Government in 1820, 
1835 and 1841. 

The Adjutant General, U. S. Army, War Department, 
is in charge of all muster and pay rolls of soldiers in 
possession of the Government and will furnish abstracts 
of service, without charge, to applicants who give a 
valid reason for desiring the information.

What the Society has Accomplished. 

It has erected hundreds of monuments and tablets to 
commemorate events and men of the Revolution, and 
to mark the battlefields and other historic sites of the 



Revolutionary period. It has secured the preservation 
of some of the most important battlefields and historical 
buildings of the Revolution as National Memorials. 

It has marked the grave of thousands of those who 
fought for American Independence. It has rescued 
from oblivion the graves of several of the Sign- 
ers of the Declaration of Independence, and marked 
them with appropriate memorials. It has saved 
from destruction and brought to light valuable records 
of the Revolution, and has secured the enactment of laws 
for gathering together in the War Department and 
Navy Department at Washington the valuable muster 
rolls and pay rolls of soldiers and sailors in that war. 

It has promoted the patriotic education of the youth 
of our country by awarding medals and other prizes for 
essays on historic topics. It has presented busts and 
portraits of eminent Americans to schools and colleges. 
It has encouraged and taken part in the celebration of 
patriotic anniversaries. 

Flag Day, on June 14th, was first observed in 1890 
upon the recommendation of the Connecticut Society 
of the Sons of the American Revolution. It promotes 
the daily display of the Stars and Stripes on all public 
buildings and at every postoffice in the land. It has 
helped to secure the enactment, in most of the States, of 
laws prohibiting the desecration of the Flag. It has 
aroused public sentiment against the use of the "Star 
Spangled Banner," or any part of it, in medleys played 
by bands and orchestras. 

It has assisted in better citizenship by the wide dis- 
tribution of leaflets to the aliens, and in the larger 
cities by illustrated lectures on our country given in their 
own language. 

It has gathered together in the National Society, since 
its organization in 1889, more than 26,000 members, with 
a present membership of more than 13,000, many of them 



leaders in statesmanship, law and medicine, business 
afifairs, military life, literature and education, all work- 
ing together for a better citizenship and a better country. 

It has secured the publication of the rolls of more 
than 40,000 soldiers and sailors of France who partici- 
pated in the American Revolution. It is securing the 
card indexing of the valuable genealogical and historical 
data in the papers of 70,000 pensioners of the Revolution 
for present reference and future publication. 

The National Society publishes and distributes to every 
member quarterly an "Official Bulletin," reviewing the 
current work of the organization, with records of new 
members, and issues a Year Book, containing the Pro- 
ceedings of the Annual Congresses, held in various parts 
of the country, and the full pedigrees of members en- 
rolled each year.
